On the evening of August 15th, Anfield Stadium.

In the second round of the Premier League, Liverpool faces West Ham United at home.

After playing Aston Villa in the last round, team doctor Mark Waller believed that Finnan's injuries had affected his performance, so the 31-year-old meritorious veteran was out of the roster this round.

This is not an excuse, but a fact, because Finnan has not started training with the team.

The weekly doubles, especially the third round of the weekend, will face Chelsea at home, which is another key battle, so Liverpool attaches great importance to it and dare not be careless at all.

After learning from last season's lessons, Liverpool learned from the mistakes and grabbed points from the beginning of this season.

Liverpool aims to have three-pointers with a mortal enemy at home and is also a direct competitor to the league.

Benitez rotated the team's lineup, Aveloa replaced Finnan and Riser replaced Aurelio.

In the central defender position, Carragher's partner became veteran Hypia, and Daniel Ag also began to take turns to rest.

In the midfield and frontcourt, Benitez lined up a 442 formation, from left to right, Benayon, Mohamed Sissoko, Xavi Alonso and Pennant, and the frontcourt double strikers were a combination of Volonin and Kuyt.

The Hammers have made serious players this season. A group of players such as Tevez, Leo Cock and Bernardon, who performed well last season, have all switched to other teams, but West Ham United's strength has not been weakened much.

From Newcastle, Solano, Parker and Dale, from Arsenal, from Forbery, from Bordeaux, and from players such as Berlam and Richard Wright, West Ham's overall strength has steadily improved this season.

But in the end, the team's entire technical and tactical system is facing reorganization, so the league was not good in the first round, losing to Manchester City at home by 0-2, which puts a lot of pressure on head coach Alan Kubishley.

This British coach who took over Alan Padu midway last season was in charge of the Hammers. His coaching performance in the second half of last season was very eye-catching, leading the team to relegation successfully and remained in office. He was also ambitious this season to win better results.

After losing to Manchester City at home, playing against Liverpool away has undoubtedly become a key game.

...

After the game started, West Ham United took the lead in the away game, taking the lead in a round of attacks at home, and creating a very threatening offensive in the sixth minute. Carlton Cole headed the ball and Noble shot in the penalty area, but was saved by goalkeeper Renner.

Liverpool rotated several players in this game, which for many players is also the first game of the new season. In addition, they were attacked by their opponents at the beginning, so the team played a little unsatisfactory at the beginning and was a little passive in the scene.

It was not until the tenth minute that Liverpool made a very threatening attack. Riser made a cross from the left, Kuyt headed the ball, and Voloning grabbed the ball in front of the goal, but was blocked by the opponent's central defender, Ferdinand.

Subsequently, Liverpool began to steadily control the situation on the court, and the double midfielder formed by Mohamed Sissoko and Xavi Alonso began to help the team seize the initiative in the game and control the rhythm.

The game was within Liverpool's control, but West Ham United steadily retreated to respond with a defensive counterattack.

Kubishley obviously knew very well that his team could not compete with the Reds at Anfield. The start of the attack was just a gesture he had made, or he wanted to take advantage of the situation. After Liverpool stabilized, he would not dare to do it again.

The subsequent games were basically within Liverpool's control, and the team began to plan attacks frequently, but they were never able to make a threatening offensive.

Both sides performed very actively, but Liverpool always missed the goal.

After gaining the upper hand, Anfield did not face the expected fierce offensive. Even the score of zero to zero made all Anfield fans sweat in their hearts.

At the end of the first half, Liverpool fans were vaguely calling Yang Yang's name in the stands.

Obviously, when Red Army fans missed Yang Yang very much when they saw the players frequently missed their scoring opportunities on the court.

Last season, Yang Yang once again and again attacked the team and has become the pillar of all fans' minds.

As long as he is there, the team will definitely win!

...

After the second half of the game, Benitez still did not substitute.

According to the Spanish head coach's opinion, if the team can win West Ham United, Yang Yang will not come on as a substitute, but will focus on preparing for the key decisive battle against Chelsea on the weekend.

But with the second half, watching Liverpool's shot fly across the left and right sides of West Ham United goalkeeper Robert Green, the fans in the stands became more and more nervous, constantly exclaiming and sighing. Seeing the team frequently missed opportunities, they were so angry that they stomped their feet and hugged their heads, unable to hide their disappointment.

They can all understand the head coach's intention.

If you want to win the league championship, a stable score is the most important thing. No matter how good the scene is, no matter how many goals you score, it is useless to not get points. On the contrary, even if you only score one goal, as long as you can get three points, it is considered a victory.

Especially when facing a powerful opponent like Chelsea next time.

This season has been double games a week, which puts great pressure on the team, so fans all understand Benitez's rotation.

It is understandable that it is one thing, but it is another to win.

When facing his old club, Benardon was obviously eager to show himself, and at the same time he was eager to prove his strength in front of the fans of his new club, so he performed very actively and actively on the court, got a lot of opportunities, but also wasted a lot of opportunities.

Liverpool fans in the stands began to make constant noises, constantly calling on the head coach to substitution and let Yang Yang play.

Yang Yang's call became louder and louder in Anfield's stands.

Benitez finally couldn't help it.

In the 55th minute, Yang Yang began to leave the bench and ran out to warm up.

As soon as he stood up, he was immediately cheered by all Liverpool fans.

More than 50,000 fans were shouting his name. This scene not only made everyone on the scene feel excited, but also made Andy Gray, a guest at Sky TV station in charge of the commentary, and all the fans in front of the TV sets around the world feel their love for Yang Yang.

"In just one season, Yang Yang has undoubtedly become a hero of Liverpool and a darling of this city!"

"This is definitely incredible, but Yang Yang's performance at Liverpool is indeed worthy of his respect."

"Now, we have to start looking forward to whether his appearance will open the door to victory for Liverpool."

Four minutes later, Yang Yang replaced Voloning and made a substitute.

...

Yang Yang hugged the Ukrainian striker Voloning who walked off the court, encouraged his teammates, and quickly ran into the court, sprinted directly, and rushed towards his position.

At this time, the visiting coach Kubishley, in front of the bench, was very nervously instructing the players on the court to pay attention to strengthening their defense against Yang Yang. He even made a neck-choking action, as if telling the player to strangle him to death.

Yang Yang performed very well in the first round of the game and was unanimously recognized, but failed to score.

But no one dared to be careless because everyone knew very well that as long as Yang Yang had a little chance, he could bring a fatal blow, and no one or any team dared to doubt this.

After Yang Yang came on the court, Liverpool created an opportunity less than a minute. Benayon passed the defense line directly behind and sent the ball into the penalty area. Yang Yang quickly started and penetrated directly behind him.

But unfortunately, Benayon and Yang Yang were obviously not familiar with each other and were a little unfamiliar with each other, and this pass was a bit too big.

If it were Harvey Alonso, then this attack would have happened.

Although he failed to form an opportunity, Yang Yang still rushed to goalkeeper Green. When he walked back, he did not forget to give a thumbs up at his teammate Bernardon, as if he was taking the initiative to take the responsibility of missing out on the opportunity.

The Israelites nodded to Yang Yang and ran back quickly.

Soon, Liverpool made a comeback again, still on the left.

Lisser stepped forward to the thirty-meter area and passed the ball to Benardon in front.

The Israelis have a right foot player. Although the left foot is good, it is not as good as the right foot. Moreover, he still doesn't seem to be very comfortable on the left side, so he still chose his right foot when stopping the ball.

This forced Yang Yang, who came to pick up the response, to adjust his strategy.

Benayon made a pass in the penalty area in the left corner of the penalty area.

West Ham central defender Upson quickly rushed out of his position and rushed to the passing landing point, trying to clear the ball.

But Yang Yang's reaction was faster. He took the lead in the flash of lightning and gently unloaded the ball.

After four or five years of unremitting basic training, Yang Yang is no longer inferior to anyone in terms of stopping the ball. He can stop the ball in any part of his body or in any way.

Maybe it is not as delicate or imaginative as Borgkamp, ​​but sometimes his flash of inspiration in the flash of lightning still makes the defenders very troubled.

It was as if this time, he suddenly stepped on his feet, but did not remove the ball, but let the ball gently avoid the kick that Upson kicked, and slid behind West Ham United's central defender when it landed.

The whole process happened in a moment, and the fans might not even be able to see it clearly. Only after the game can the slow-motion replay of the live TV broadcast be seen clearly.

But they just vaguely saw that Upson was determined to get a clearance, but Yang Yang didn't know what magic he used to hit the ball, but instead let the ball roll behind him.

As the last barrier to the defense line, Upson's sudden "miss" not only surprised and even excited Liverpool fans in the game, but also shocked all West Ham United players, especially goalkeeper Green.

Because they soon saw that Yang Yang avoided Upson and quickly caught up with the ball, forming a single shot!
